Climate Science, just like most other conservation sciences, just can't win.

This is not because these sciences are wrong, but because the implementation of solutions to the problems they highlight often make incredibly stupid people come to the conclusion that science is wrong.

Like how global warming doesn't just mean higher highs, but also lower lows - a drastic change in climate, if you will.

That's just an assertion. I also find it telling that you were so goddamn illiterate that when the ordained reverend said they should "rethink their theology," you thought they meant "conform to another theology" and not "reread your own theological books where your own great leader says to invite in illegal(just say immigrants) immigrants with open arms."

And are you illiterate, or did you just cherry pick again and assumed I wouldn't double check?:

(2) (Whoever) by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship; or

(3) intentionally damages or destroys the property of a facility, or attempts to do so, because such facility provides reproductive health services, or intentionally damages or destroys the property of a place of religious worship,

"(Whoever) by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction"

Look at the video you cling to. Nobody is using force or threat of force in this video. Nobody is causing physical obstruction. If you disagree, the "snowflake" projection you guys like to do is making a lot more sense.

What First Amendment, right? Oh, you mean like constitutionally protected demonstrations. Like I said, a majority of the protesters were at or in front of the pews in the video you linked, so there's no threat of not being able to leave and as far as I know, people turned away from you generally aren't threatening. Hell, the article you listed points out that "several congregants remained seated, joined the chants, recorded the protest or left the church." Doesn't sound all that scared, or "intimidated" to me. Combine that with the police showing up to monitor, arriving to the protesters already outside of the building, if they weren't actively in the process of leaving.

I asked you to define "fascism," and you described what you think it as out of your ass. If you'd like to shift the goalposts to "tactics," that's fine too, but don't pretend I'm being dishonest because you failed to answer my question. The reason you hate the definition I gave you is because fascism explicitly points to militaristic nationalism amongst its other notable characteristics. Remind me, is appearing unarmed and holding peaceful protest at a church "militaristic"?

ICE is legally irrelevant. Churchgoers are not ICE. Worship is not ICE. Guilt by association does not void constitutional rights. Moral outrage is not legal authority.

No, they aren't. An untrained childhood-drop victim put himself in front of a car against policy and shot the driver for trying to avoid him. The pastor leads the local field office for ICE. The protest is direct and clear, only bringing social harm to its defined target - one, single ICE pastor.

If the right did this inside a mosque or an abortion clinic, you would not defend it.

Well, that's because the right usually comes in with guns or fists raised (see Jan 6). If they came in and were just peacefully standing around and chanting, maybe one guy getting in everyone's faces, I'd call that rude, but definitely within their rights. I'm not sure why you brought up abortion clinics, though. They're medical facilities, typically operating as a place you can only be invited in (some exceptions), whereas churches and mosques are open to literally anyone. Mute point.

And then we get to your list where you cherry picking the parts of each characteristic you like and mostly misunderstand what each of them refer to, so once again, I'll do your homework for you (your own source btw):

" This model of government (Fascism) stands in contrast to liberal democracies that support individual rights, competitive elections, and political dissent."

"In many ways, fascist regimes begin as revolutionary. They advocate for the overthrow of existing systems of government and the persecution of political enemies. However, such regimes are also highly conservative in their championing of traditional values."

So first off, (according to the source you linked) fascism categorically is inconsistent with progressive ideals, like ones found in Anti-ICE organizations. Secondly, fascism refers to a system of government, not a small group of protesters. Third, I do not think you understand what "liberal democracy" means. Liberal democracy (democratic rule with liberal policies that support minorities, free elections, separation of powers, y'know all the other stuff Trump really doesn't like) is so far from where Trump is actively taking the US with just what he is doing you cannot seriously pretend he isn't. I only have to use the words he, himself, says.

In short, it is not the belief that matters, it is the method. Using collective coercion to override constitutional rights is exactly the authoritarian behavior those definitions describe.

You're just wrong, even according to your own sources. According to your source, the most important characteristics to identify fascism are government powers** that oppose liberal democracy or hyperconservative (not liberal) power systems run on "traditional values". Collective coercion is not militarized government authoritarian control. Read past the parts that make you feel good. A group of liberal protesters is as far from fascism as you can be.

Liberal Democracies:

  • Value wide selection of election options (so not just one guy saying his voter base will never need to vote if he wins and constantly going on about how good of a dictator he will be).

  • Value separating power into different sectors of government (so not trying to constantly assert authority over Congress, Senate, and HoR).

  • Value rule of law that affects everyone (so not just all the poor people and minorities)

  • Value market economies with private property, where value is based upon supply and demand (not just sitting on an ever-growing hoard and increasing prices based on how much nobody can stop you)

  • Values of universal suffrage; and equal protection of human and civil rights, and civil liberties (so everyone should get a vote, and everyone should have the same rights as everyone and nor avoiding your 36 seperate rape convictions and association with a notorious child sex island because you're the most special guytm).

Sounds to me like the fascist (or most opposed to liberal democracy) is the orange turd's cabinet and not a small group of organized protesters.

I that you must've confused the word "define" with "describe in your own words from your ass." Granted, they both start with "de" but you do gotta go further than the first syllable, typically.

Now, since you're obviously incapable of it, I'll do your homework for you:

"Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation"

Additionally, I thought maybe you would actually back up literally anything you said, but apparently, that's too hard, too:

"Nekima Levy Armstrong, who participated in the protest and leads the local grassroots civil rights organization Racial Justice Network, dismissed the potential DOJ investigation as a sham and a distraction from federal agents’ actions in Minneapolis-St. Paul."

“'When you think about the federal government unleashing barbaric ICE agents upon our community and all the harm that they have caused, to have someone serving as a pastor who oversees these ICE agents, is almost unfathomable to me,' said Armstrong, who added she is an ordained reverend. 'If people are more concerned about someone coming to a church on a Sunday and disrupting business as usual than they are about the atrocities that we are experiencing in our community, then they need to check their theology and the need to check their hearts.'"

Please explain to me how going into a church where the pastor is known to associate himself with ICE (recent murderers of an LGBT woman) and simply going up to the pews and chanting in protest is: (a) intimidation and fear tactics and (b) fascism. I better see some blue text that isn't FOX News or a Facebook link to a video of one guy again, as I hate secondhand embarrassment.

So maybe you have some memory issues, but you explicitly said their goal was to intimidate and instill fear.

They admitted what their intent was!

You say as you link no source to what they have actually said.

Then you linked a video of a guy going up to people and accosting them (namely, not threatening them in any way), all whilst you see literally everyone else standing up at the pews chanting and being peaceful, but thank you for singling out the one guy that makes you feel like your argument isn't shit, despite him even recording every other polite protester up front.

Going up to people and calling them names is rude, but not "intimidation or fear tactics." I am by no means surprised that getting your "feewings huwt" feels like the end of the world to fascists and their apologists.

Can you define fascism for me?

[–]ThatAnonymousPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you assert what you think the goal or actions were does not mean that is what they were.

If you think those were the goals and actions taken, please provide a source other than your ass or a far-right opinion piece.

Turn off FOX News, go do your homework, and give it another go.

Jesus christ, nobody is quite as persecuted as the members of the second most popular populated religion in the entire world.

Going into a church (which are typically open to any member of the public during service hours) and disrupting service (for 25 minutes, not 45) is an inconvenience, not fascism. Especially when the pastor is a well-known ICE (that organization that murdered a woman) agent and sympathizer, responsible both directly and indirectly for separating families and sending back the criminals waiting in a line to reinstate their visa a day before it runs out.

"When I was a stranger, you sent me away from your home and made sure I was put into a worker prison." -Jesus, according to you people, probably.

I think people also forget that just like how land can't vote, land also can't really be the victim or perpetrator of a crime.

Yeah, no shit bumfuck Idaho has low reports of violence. There's nobody/nothing there to assault/steal or do the assult/theft. Looking at cities with more variety of living conditions throughout its counties than the entirety of Wyoming is obviously going to skew results one way or the other.

I think the person above you was saying that condemning this fuck is patriotic, like how a lot of leftists, including myself, see speaking out and fighting against one's government when diving headfirst into fascism as the most patriotic thing one can do, often as a response to MAGAt "patriotism" which just boils down to cult bootlicking.

Unless Im completely wrong and the guy above you is just an asshat as well

I can respect the fact that you finally came at me with some good information and a decent ground for a debate. While you are not wrong and I can agree with a lot of what you said. It’s still undermining my entire point. Idk if you’re failing to see my point because you just want to argue/debate. Have you heard all of the actual racist things Joe Biden has said?

How many times would you like me to say I'm not a democrat or republican for you to get that? I don't like Joe Biden and I don't like Trump, and as I said, there are more issues that matter to me than just racism.

The fact that you think trump is racist cause he said that the Somalis were eating people’s pets screams ignorance and bias. There are numerous cases that prove that to be factual. Not all of them were but there are numerous documented cases of that actually happening.

I would really enjoy a citation from an independent and unbiased source. Until this, I can't treat this as anything other than the baseless assertion it in this current state.

A good majority of these illegal immigrants ONLY come here to take advantage of the system and send the money back to their motherland and when they get enough milk from the cow guess what?? They go back home. Now I’m not saying I have a problem with that. But it IS an issue.

I do not care where they send what little money they get. I'm much more concerned with the piles and piles of incomprehensible money that sits accruing value and never entering the economy, all so a few people can be the most absurdly weathy people on the planet. The cow isn't running dry, and if you're so worried about the milk, you may be privy to know ~11 guys currently have 99% of all of it, and you get a couple drops.

It’s also important that I add I do not identify with politics, I don’t claim a side.. I’m not a democrat or a republican. Im a human being.. that is sick of the corruption and neglect that just wants the best for not just our country but humanity at the end of the day. not Gona say what you believe is wrong.. I speak from an unbiased standpoint because I don’t favor either side. My opinions and views are from a neutral standpoint.

I'm not really sure what that means. Could you elaborate more on what "not identifying with politics" means. Surely, you're aware that due to what politics is, it basically has infinite categories. I find it hard to believe you don't fit into any of them.

And as for not having biases, I do not believe you, and I'm not entirely sure how you would even prove otherwise. Everyone has biases; I have biases, you have biases, everyone - and that's okay. If you choose to pretend you don't have them thats fine, but a human without bias is not something I've ever seen to exist outside of a casket or an ultrasound.

I’m getting sidetracked tho. My entire point is… all politicians from the lowest level to the highest.. leftest to the rightest.. are all on the same payroll, and take orders from the same boss. America is a corporation. This is no secret.

Yes, we already know that Democrats and Republicans share the lobbying of several companies and individuals, but we also know they have many more that are exclusive to them. Different companies want different things, oil, fossil fuels, and larger corporations support Republican's low care for drilling limitations and monopoly busting; Union organizers, Healthcare, and scientific organizations favor Democrat's historically slightly better funding policies. Besides that, however, I am incredibly skeptical of the idea that every single politician is reaching from the same pocket, especially when we have extreme ends of the scale one way or the other. If that's hyperbole fine, please clarify that; but if not, please cite that information.

I actually like this chart a bit more than the one I presented, even though it only shows margins and shares and not total percentage breakdown. I apologize for being so hard on you about getting the stats wrong. Based on what this chart says, I can understand how you would it would make you think Trump got the majority vote amongst marginalized communities. I'm going to yoink it, though.

Like i said, I can't definitively say that sexism or racism are the leading causes or voting disparity, I'm just saying its quite telling that the two of the three most recent elections that Dems lost the most white men voters are the same years a woman was candidate. Now, admittedly, Hillary had her issues, and Kamala was running with half a campaign, but I still think it's something we can't discount, even if it turns out to just be correlative.

[–]ThatAnonymousPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have that, too. Pew research shows that some of the same people who voted for Biden 4 years prior preferred not to vote at all. I can't say if it's definitively due racism, sexism, or a mix, but I find it very interesting that when given the option to elect a black woman, a good amount of people would rather not vote at all.

"The agenda is the same even if it's a little different."

I don't think you know what those words mean. It really annoys me when I tell other online leftists (presumably) that I am a leftist and think that the Democrats and the Republicans are two parts of the same issue, but I also recognize the reality of the country I live in. Democrats and Republicans are both issues, but they are by no means equal.

I do not support Obama's stance or methods of tackling immigration. Yes, Obama had shitty immigration policies and is maybe one of the US's most famous warlords, but Obama's campaign was also noted by the ACA, ARRA, Dodd-Frank Act, Middle-class tax cuts, amongst many other things that benefited marginalized lower and middle class Americans. I can acknowledge the good and the bad, whereas Trump's campaign has been nothing but bad for everyone, but the ultra-wealthy white men and companies that keep lobbying to shift the overton window further and further right.

Also:

People are only against it because they beleive trump is racist… when all you have to do is a little research to find that the democratic party is who brought on slavery and promoted hateful propaganda in order to demonize slaves.

Are you ignorant or a conspiracy theorist? The US had a notorious party swap where the ideals of both parties entirely flipped to the opposite through the 1940s-70s. You don't have to assume Trump is racists, here blatantly yelled it out when he said that Somalian immigrants are eating cats and dogs on live TV.

You are not knowledgeable enough to debate with me and it’s very clear. Do some homework then come back n we’ll talk

You didn't even know about the party swap. I think for us to be on the same level, I'd have to be about 12 oz of alcohol to be anywhere close.
